Li Shi Min came to the Supreme Court.
When Du Kefa went out to welcome him, Li Shi Min had already entered the courtyard of the Supreme Court.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Du Kefa cupped his hands.
"No need for formalities, I heard that you've returned travel-worn. Can you pick up Xun Cai 'er?”
Du Kefa shook his head and said,"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Xun Cai 'er…"
When Li Shi Min heard Du Kefa's words, his expression suddenly became excited,"Minister, can you find Xun Cai 'er?”
Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't find her…Although a woman came here under the name of Xun Cai 'er, she has too many tokens in her hands, which makes people suspicious…"
As soon as Du Kefa finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered Zuo Shaoqing of the Supreme Court to invite Li Xiangcheng and the woman out.
Within the Court of Judicial Review, many Imperial Guards were gathered. When the Emperor went out, the accompanying guards were indispensable. Wang De, the Imperial Attendant, served by Li Shimin's side and did not dare to relax for a moment.
Not long after, Li Xiangcheng and the woman walked into the courtyard of the Supreme Court.
Li Shi Min suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
"You are Xiao Die?"
"Young Master! Young Master, please help my Young Miss!”
The older woman started crying, and Li Xiangcheng was stunned on the spot.
As Du Kefa had expected, although this woman had many tokens and was also called mother by Li Xiangcheng, her identity was not Xun Cai 'er at all. She was Xun Cai' er's personal maid!
"Xiao Die! Where's Cai? Tell me quickly! Where's Cai 'Er?"
Li Shi Min grabbed the woman's hand and asked anxiously.
" After the young master left, the young lady gave birth to Xiang Cheng without any status…"
"What happened after that? Why didn't you wait for me to pick her up? I've been to Xiang City! But at that time, the Xun family had already gone into hiding!"
"Not long after Miss gave birth to Xiang City, a general brought many soldiers to the Xun family and told them that if they did not leave Yingchuan, the Xun family would be destroyed in the flames of war! The Xun family is in seclusion, and the young lady is not following…"
"What happened after that?"
Li Shi Min asked.
"Reporting to Young Master, what happened later is difficult to explain in a few words. Young Master, this is the daughter that Young Lady gave birth to. Back then, Young Master and I agreed in Xiang City that we would name her Xiang City!”
……
"Your Majesty, I'm tired. I'll take my leave.”
Du Kefa cupped his hands. What was about to happen next would probably be another grudge. Du Kefa didn't want to continue listening.
As for whether Xun Cai 'er was alive or dead, Du Kefa didn't want to know.
As for who that Sui Dynasty general was, Du Kefa didn't want to know.
Du Kefa had already helped Li Shiming find the key person to find Xun Cai 'er. Li Shiming had his own decision on what to do next.
"Thank you for your hard work, dear minister. Xiang City…Xiang City…"
Li Shimin looked at Li Xiangcheng as if he was looking at Xun Cai 'er, who had stood outside Xiang City and made the oath of alliance.
"I will take my leave."
Du Kefa left the Supreme Court in a sedan chair. He had the Tian Ce Sword by his waist. He had already completed the task that Li Shiming had given him. As for whether Xun Cai 'er lived or died, it had nothing to do with him…
If Xun Cai 'er died, Li Shi Min would be furious.
Everything would be revealed tomorrow morning.
Someone was probably going to suffer…
Du Kefa remembered what his brother Du Ruhui had said. Li Shimin marrying Zhangsun Wuji was something Gao Shilian had single-handedly arranged.
There would probably be another monstrous change in the court tomorrow.
After all, someone had acted as a ghost and blocked Li Shiming and Xun Cai 'er. Now that Li Shiming was the emperor, he naturally had to catch this person…
……
It was still early after Du Kefa left the Supreme Court. Moreover, he was not tired. He just wanted to find an excuse to leave. Du Kefa remembered that he had not seen Princess Chang Le for twenty days, so he decided to make a trip to the princess's manor today.
This time, no one would stop the car and complain, right?
In the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian had just finished studying historical records. He shook his sleepy head and asked the servants to prepare a carriage to go to the princess's manor.
"Your Highness, I just heard that Du Kefa has returned to Chang 'an."”
"He's at the Supreme Court?"
"Your Highness, Du Kefa has left the Court of Judicial Review and seems to be heading towards the princess's manor!”
"Princess Manor!"
Li Chengqian immediately became excited and shouted,"Prepare the horses and head to the princess's manor."
"Uncle said that Du Kefa had deeply grasped the strategies of his brother Du Ruhui. Imperial Father also often praised him for being both civil and military, and was a pillar of the country. Talents will always be unsociable. I have to take him in.”
He nodded as if he was certain of his words and got into the carriage."Yesterday, I promised Changle that I would go see her today. I can't go back on my word.”
The personal guard stopped persuading him and followed behind on his horse.
When they arrived at the princess's manor, Li Chengqian stuck his head out of the carriage and saw an official sedan chair at the manor's door. He anxiously asked the gatekeeper who had come.
"Your Highness, Grandpa Fuma has just entered.”
Du Kefa was here! Li Chengqian was overjoyed, feeling that the heavens finally saw his sincerity.
"Quickly return to the Eastern Palace and bring me the gift I prepared.”
The personal guard left after receiving the order. Li Chengqian restrained his excitement and walked into the princess's manor hurriedly and slowly.
……
In the back garden, Du Kefa and Princess Chang Le were chatting as they strolled along with a few maids.
"You haven't come to see me for a long time." Princess Chang Le was slightly resentful.
"I was too busy a few days ago. I wanted to come over yesterday, but I was delayed halfway.”
"The Xiang City case?"
"Eh? How would Princess know?"
"Everyone in Chang 'an knows about the movements of the Supreme Court, so how can I not know?”
Princess Changle's face suddenly turned red. She had been keeping an eye on Du Kefa and the Supreme Court, but she was afraid that Du Kefa would hear her concern.
Du Kefa smiled and looked at the maids behind him. He really wanted to chase these third wheels away. However, Li Shiming had instructed them not to leave Princess Chang Le at any time, especially when the Fuma was in the princess's residence.
After all, the Prince Consort and the Princess were only engaged. Du Kefa had not married the Princess yet.
"That matter is almost settled. In a few days, the official business of the Supreme Court will be mostly settled. I will come to see you every day, okay?”
Chang Le's face was even redder than the flowers in the garden. She nodded softly.
As they were walking, a maid ran in from behind." Princess, the Crown Prince is here."”
Li Chengqian? What a coincidence!
"Imperial brother has been visiting me these days. Let's go see him together."”
Li Chengqian had so much free time to visit Changle every day?
Du Kefa felt that Li Chengqian's intention was not the wine, but himself.
Li Chengqian and Chang Le were biological siblings. There was nothing wrong with him coming to the princess's manor...
During Dang Renhong's trial, Li Chengqian had expressed his goodwill to him several times and invited him to the Eastern Palace as a guest.
Going to the Eastern Palace as a guest meant that he was willing to become Li Chengqian's subordinate.
Du Kefa did not reject Li Chengqian's invitation and did not go in the end.
He did not want to get involved in the fight for the throne, at least not now.
Moreover, if he wanted to invest in the future, helping Li Zhi now would benefit him more.
He did not expect that Li Chengqian would not give up and actually wanted to rope him in through Princess Chang Le.
As he was thinking, Du Kefa followed Chang Le to the hall and saw Li Chengqian.
……
Du Kefa and Li Chengqian exchanged a few polite words.
Li Chengqian laughed and said," Du Fuma, a few days ago, my father gave me a few precious horses. I saw that Fuma had a silver spear, but there was no good horse to match it. I specially picked one and gave it to Fuma."”
"Your Highness is very thoughtful."
Du Kefa wanted to refuse, but Li Chengqian said,"Changle, come with us to see the BMW?”
"Sure," Chang Le happily agreed. It was unknown whether he wanted to help Li Chengqian or help Du Kefa get a BMW.
Du Kefa and Chang Le had already agreed, so he could only follow everyone to see the BMW.
Du Kefa fell in love with the BMW the moment he saw it.
It was a white warhorse. There was not a single speck of fur on its body, and even its hooves were white.
"What a good white horse." Du Kefa walked up and touched the horse's neck. At first, the horse resisted, but it quickly let Du Kefa touch it.
"As long as Fuma likes it." Li Chengqian seemed even happier than Du Kefa. As expected, heroes couldn't pass the BMW Pass. Uncle's idea was right.
What should he do in the face of Li Chengqian's sugar-coated bullets?
The moment Du Kefa saw the white warhorse, he had already decided to keep it.
The sugar coating must be left behind, and the shells must be returned.
"Thank you for the BMW, Your Highness."
"Try riding a horse?"
There was a silver saddle on the horse's back. Du Kefa jumped onto the horse's back and moved his legs slightly. The white horse suddenly stood up like a human and galloped.
After running one round at lightning speed, Du Kefa confirmed that this was a thousand-li horse.
Satisfied, Du Kefa jumped off the white horse and stroked the horse's neck, thanking Li Chengqian again.
"Why don't you give the warhorse a name?”Li Chengqian laughed.
Without hesitation, Du Kefa directly said his name,"Let's call it the Night Jade Lion."
"Good name." Li Chengqian praised loudly.
Du Kefa and Li Chengqian were very happy. The two of them talked about horses until the sky turned dark. Princess Changle asked the two of them to stay in the residence for dinner.
……
The next day.
Morning court!
As soon as the officials entered the hall, they saw Li Shiming standing in the hall in his military uniform. The Emperor's Sword had already been unsheathed!
Xun Cai 'er's handmaidens, Xiao Die and Li Xiangcheng, had been taken out of the Supreme Court by Li Shiming and were staying in the palace.
Du Kefa looked at Li Shi Min with a murderous look on his face.
Du Kefa was looking forward to what would happen in the court today!
After the officials entered the court, Li Shimin suddenly raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand and pointed it forward.
Li Shi Min suddenly opened his mouth, his killing intent filling the court,"You are all my beloved ministers! I love you so much! It's fine if officials protect each other, but you actually hid it from everyone. Do you think I don't dare to kill you?”
Li Shi Min's furious roar echoed throughout the court.
Du Kefa looked at Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian and thought,""Someone is going to be in trouble in the imperial court today…"
Du Kefa wanted to watch this show in the royal court with great interest!
